The falo of about 10,000 perfsons on the relief rolls in Columt)US; the suoccsa of thp city's i)olicc and fire deiiartmcnt co-operative fighL to stem the 100 percent incrca^o in &cx crimes during tho past 10 months and the continuance ot other important city governmental functions are dependent on the continuance of the 'i,i mill levy hy Columbus voters on Election Day next Tucpday.
It has been emphasized that the 2.4 mill levy is NOT n new tax. That it is a continuation of the tax which has been in operation for tho past two yearj. That even with the passage of the levy, Lixes will be lov.Trcd. That tho tax rate on real estate for 1937 was $21.20 That cvon if the levy passes, it will be lowered to $ao.40—a re¬ duction of 80 cents.
During the past live years, taxes in Columbui have been reduced almost 60% even with the 2.4 levy. The cost of operating the city government during that time h.i3 increased tremendously, but still the city has been able to maintain the municipal functions—free re¬ fuse collections, street cleaning service, health department, police and firo protection and other valu¬ ed services, many of which cost tax-payers extra money in a ma- jorily of tho cities in tho V. S.
There is a possibility, with the continuance of thu levy, that neces¬ sary governmental functions vrill bo added, with a near balanced budget in siglit for 1938. Sinco 1930, rigid economies in each de¬ partment of the city's government has made it possible to pay off a cash deficit of over ,$CGO,000. Tho city has issued not one cent of new bonds, operating solely on a "pay-as-you-go" basit,.
With tho city having absolutely no other source of revenue for these purposes, other than tho levy, it bectimos obvious that it theao vitnl city'fHnclion<; ar^^.to he wu:- tied on effectively dun'rig IDSa, the 2,4 mill levy must ho continued by a 05%vote at the polls on Elec¬ tion Day, next Tuesday.

NationalHadassahhasbeen cele¬ brating its silver jubilee, tho crowning event of which i:. its 25lh annual convention nov.r being held in Atlantic City. Many outstand¬ ing Jewish leaders will attend anfong them JDr. Stephen S. Wise and Miss Henrietta Szold, founder of Hadassah.
A stirring and dramatic portray¬ al o: the 25 years of Hadassah medical nnd health work in Pales¬ tine will be given. The change, in health standards, health knowledge and social optlook that Hadassah effected tn Palestine during the ijuartcr of a century, will be re¬ viewed. Miss Szold will speak on Youth Aliyah, the work of trans¬ ferring tho German Jewisli chil¬ dren to Palestine where they may live, grow nnd work freely. TThis, Miss Szold characterizea aa her "groat work".
Columbua Chapter of Hadassah shares in thia fine work. To attain her contribution cfuota, the lo¬ cal chapter ia now preparing for its ninth Annual Donor Dinner, under the capable chairmanship of Mis- Sigmund Weisskerz. The dinner will be held Sunday, Dec. 5, with Marvin Lowenthal, noted author, as tjie speaker. Pledges for the event are being taken by Mrs. Weisskerz nnd her vice-chairman, Mrs. lloy Stone and Ilndussah board mem¬ bers.
In that way, in my opinion, nnity in American Jewry is possible and practical in the one rc-Spcct in which unity in American Jewry is needed or wanted. In all else Jew¬ ish organizations .shall respect one another, ever bearing in mind the World of Abraham to Lot 'let there bo no strife between thee and me, for wo be brethren.' Yes, let us

LONDON (WNS) — AU Eng¬ land is awailiuf; the'outcome of a libel action brought by Lord Cum- rose, publisher of the powerful London Daily Telegraph, against Action Press, Ltd., publishers of Action, official organ of Sir Or. wald Mosley's Fascist organization and Argus Press, Ltd., printers of the paper. The basis Of the suit is an article published last year in which Action accused tho Tele graph of discriminating against tho Fascists and inferred that Lord CamroEie -wu^ a member of li group of Jewish flnancibrs. On the wit¬ ness stand the publijsher denied he was of Jewish extraction and said there was nothing derogatory in being a Jew or being called a Jew¬ ish financier but held it libelous when he was. called a Jewish fin¬ ancier after all Jews aAd Jewish financiers were branded as unscru¬ pulous. John Beckett, editor of Action, refused to take tbe stand in tho libel action but a spokesman for the magazine preuented wit¬ nesses who denied that Mosley had seen the article of which Lord Camrose Complained and that the Fascist chieftain had advocated in writing the expulsion of Jews from England.

It has been emphasized that the 2.4 mill levy is NOT n new tax. That it is a continuation of the tax which has been in operation for tho past two yearj. That even with the passage of the levy, Lixes will be lov.Trcd. That tho tax rate on real estate for 1937 was $21.20 That cvon if the levy passes, it will be lowered to $ao.40—a re¬ duction of 80 cents.
During the past live years, taxes in Columbui have been reduced almost 60% even with the 2.4 levy. The cost of operating the city government during that time h.i3 increased tremendously, but still the city has been able to maintain the municipal functions—free re¬ fuse collections, street cleaning service, health department, police and firo protection and other valu¬ ed services, many of which cost tax-payers extra money in a ma- jorily of tho cities in tho V. S.
There is a possibility, with the continuance of thu levy, that neces¬ sary governmental functions vrill bo added, with a near balanced budget in siglit for 1938. Sinco 1930, rigid economies in each de¬ partment of the city's government has made it possible to pay off a cash deficit of over ,$CGO,000. Tho city has issued not one cent of new bonds, operating solely on a "pay-as-you-go" basit,.
With tho city having absolutely no other source of revenue for these purposes, other than tho levy, it bectimos obvious that it theao vitnl city'fHnclione-

A stirring and dramatic portray¬ al o: the 25 years of Hadassah medical nnd health work in Pales¬ tine will be given. The change, in health standards, health knowledge and social optlook that Hadassah effected tn Palestine during the ijuartcr of a century, will be re¬ viewed. Miss Szold will speak on Youth Aliyah, the work of trans¬ ferring tho German Jewisli chil¬ dren to Palestine where they may live, grow nnd work freely. TThis, Miss Szold characterizea aa her "groat work".
Columbua Chapter of Hadassah shares in thia fine work. To attain her contribution cfuota, the lo¬ cal chapter ia now preparing for its ninth Annual Donor Dinner, under the capable chairmanship of Mis- Sigmund Weisskerz. The dinner will be held Sunday, Dec. 5, with Marvin Lowenthal, noted author, as tjie speaker. Pledges for the event are being taken by Mrs. Weisskerz nnd her vice-chairman, Mrs. lloy Stone and Ilndussah board mem¬ bers.
In that way, in my opinion, nnity in American Jewry is possible and practical in the one rc-Spcct in which unity in American Jewry is needed or wanted.

The basis Of the suit is an article published last year in which Action accused tho Tele graph of discriminating against tho Fascists and inferred that Lord CamroEie -wu^ a member of li group of Jewish flnancibrs. On the wit¬ ness stand the publijsher denied he was of Jewish extraction and said there was nothing derogatory in being a Jew or being called a Jew¬ ish financier but held it libelous when he was. called a Jewish fin¬ ancier after all Jews aAd Jewish financiers were branded as unscru¬ pulous. John Beckett, editor of Action, refused to take tbe stand in tho libel action but a spokesman for the magazine preuented wit¬ nesses who denied that Mosley had seen the article of which Lord Camrose Complained and that the Fascist chieftain had advocated in writing the expulsion of Jews from England.
